Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was filed under the EB-3 professional category, which requires a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent. The beneficiary did not possess such a degree, and the AAO rejected the argument that work experience could be substituted for the degree, noting that the relevant statute was amended to specifically require a degree. The petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary met the minimum educational requirements for the professional position as defined in the regulations.
